Thermal solution for fanless system design

Heat sinks are used to cool down device temperature by dissipating heat into surrounding air. Since the configurations and the power circuit placement of each model are different, which will lead to different extent of heat generation; therefore PERFECTRON designs tailor-made heat sink for each motherboard. Special high and low fin design forms a wind-flow to reduce thermal resistance. Moreover, cross section wave line on the interface increases up to 30-40% air contact area. Combining these two features, thermal performance leverages to utmost. The option of fan is also available to the customers if fanless design is not necessary.

Advanced cooling solution for better heat dissipation

To meet the demands of customer’s extended temperature requirements, the whole thermal solution of OXY5335A simultaneously embraces two heat transfer methods, heat conduction and heat convection. For heat conduction, the solution utilizes a copper heat spreader on the bottom layer which directly contact with the processor and chipset. Heat is then transferred to upper aluminum heat sink. Regarding to heat convection, the temperature differences caused by high and low fin design forms a mild airflow that could bring away heat efficiently. Fan can also be an auxiliary by placing an appropriate sized fan on top of the heat sink. Breakdown drawing is provided as below.

Installation Instruction

Procedure: Stick thermal pad on CPU and chipset, and then simply put passive heat sink on thermal pad.

Copper heat spreader is used to contact with CPU and chipset directly to absorb heat efficiently on the bottom layer, and then spread the collected heat to upper aluminum heat sink. While aluminum is used to force heat convection. After heat spreader transfer heat from bottom layer to heat sink, High and low fin design plus wave line create airflow to dissipate heat.

Aluminum Passive Heat Sink
Heat sink is known for lowering the temperature by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. Though copper absorbs faster, it doesn’t dissipate faster than aluminum.
•It contains 96 % of aluminum, 30.8 mm height and weighs 321 g
•High and low fin design plus wave line increase contact surface up to 30-40% and create airflow.
•Consume shorter heat dissipating time owing to lower metal density
•Better performance in heat dissipating

Copper Flat Heat Spreader
Heat spreader is known for improving the distribution of heat. According to metal characteristics, copper has better heat absorption performance than aluminum. That is why copper is chosen to be heat spreader.
•It contains 99.9 % purity of copper, 5.5 mm height and weighs 326 g
•Absorb heat quicker than aluminum owing to higher heat conductivity coefficient (copper 402: aluminum 266)
•Better performance in heat absorbing

Synergies of copper heat spreader plus aluminum heat sink:
“Copper absorbs heat faster; aluminum dissipates heat faster”
Possessing the physical knowledge and expertise about metal characteristics accomplish the perfect match of thermal solution.

The OXY5335A offers highly effectively heat conductive and heat convective thermal solutions to meet the demands of customers’ extended temperature requirements. The heat conductive solutions uses an aluminum flat mass to place in direct contact with the processor and chipset, the heat from chips then transfers it to the case of the system. In addition, the convective thermal solutions introduce airflow directed to move across the surface of a fin style heatsink placed on top of the processor and chipset. This can be done with the aid of an appropriately sized fan placed in top of the fin style heatsink. Alternately, enclosure airflow can be routed to flow across a fin style heatsink.

RC200 main board: 3.5” SBC-OXY5335A

(1) Intel® Core i7 CPU soldering onboard
RC200 is based on 3.5” SBC—OXY5335A, powered by Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3517UE dual core processor plus QM77 chipset soldered onboard. With CPU soldering onboard, there is less conduction of heat and high density interconnection between the motherboard and the component, which reduces the MB from the crisis of overheating. Apart from overheating, soldering onboard also provides the best level of shock and vibration protection, removing the unnecessary concern about poor connection that CPU socket type may bring.

(2) Wide Range DC input
For military and heavy duty vehicle applications, instable voltage always brings headaches about damaging the electric components. RC200 supports 36V to 72V DC-in (default 48V DC-in), the flexible acceptance of inconsistent power input makes it capable of surviving tough engine cranks and transient over-voltage situations. This feature is compliant with EN50155 which is perfectly designed for railway applications.

(3) 4 x Ethernets (2 by M12, 2 by RJ45) & expandable isolated COM ports
For train recording usage, device interfaces are mostly go from LAN ports and COM ports. To add two more Ethernet ports, RC200 adds on LAN card by mPCIe interface, which is developed by PERFECTRON—MT321. Sufficient 10/100/1000 mbps Ethernet connections enable to install more complete surveillance system in vehicle as well as build up interconnection to manage carriage-to-carriage communications, which effectively increase efficiency and safety. It is noteworthy that two out of four connections apply locking M12 connectors to minimize the chance of disconnection caused by shock & vibration during the railway journey. For more I/O support, RC200 provides total 4 COM ports, optional 2 COM ports with isolation. With isolation function, it can provide secured power protection from sudden power surge damaging the controller.

(4) Three-stage thermal design
For military and transport applications, the environment is always harsh and the ambient temperature is varying along with the moving path. Therefore the importance of extended operating temperature is undoubted. PERFECTRON experts create the system design which involves three-stage thermal design which allows RC200 to survive from -20°C to 70°C. The thermal solution flexibly maximize the metal characteristic, using copper heat spreader to absorb heat directly from heat sources, then using heat pipe to transfer heat to aluminum heat sink. The copper heat pipe is the key factor among the whole thermal design. The heat conductivity coefficient of heat pipe can be up to 5000, nearly 12 times better than copper heat spreader. With a perfect combination of copper plus aluminum thermal kit which efficiently manage the heat dissipation up to 70°C.
